Can you recommend a site for fish descriptions and pics?

There is also a book called "TROPICAL FRESHWATER AQUARIUM FISH " and it has a picture of the fish and a brief summary of the water quality and food it should eat the care it needs its habits and other fish that its compatible with!
 
Thanks again for the book recommendation.

I think it would be great to stick a thread with this info. As a newbie, wanting to put the right fish in the proper environment, it is far better to do the research first.

It's too easy to go to the store and see neat fish (many at a very immature size) and buy them, only to learn later that the set up you have is all wrong!
 
I hear you, I am always looking for a site that tells me what fish goes with other tank mates. makes it easier and not have to bother you all so much LOL!
